Club Ride - Saturday 31st August

This weeks ride is just over 50 miles and is a loop around the forest. Weather forecast for Saturday is fine and hopefully won't change.

Plan this week is for a 0900 depart from Brock. Out through Wilverley, Burley, Crow, Poulner, Moyles Court, Red Shoot, Fritham, Bartley, Woodlands, Ashurst, Colbury, Ipley Cross, Beaulieu, Hatchet Pond, East Boldre, Pilley, Sway and back to Brock around 1200.

Route at http://connect.garmin.com/course/4359674  Route is a repeat of one we did on the 3rd August hence the filename.

I won't be around this week due to other commitments so have a good ride and see you next week.

Thursday Night Chain Gang - 29th August

Chain gang this week will be back on the Fritham Airfield Road as it was two weeks ago. Start time will be 1845 as the nights are closing in a little and will run for 45-60 minutes depending on whether we have energy for 3 or 4 repeats. 

Start point will be at the Stoney Cross / Janesmoor Pond end of the road where it meets Forest Road but feel free to join any time and anywhere along the road. 

Hope to see another good Thursday night turnout. As ever all abilities welcome. Especially a this route allows riders to drop off and rejoin on every leg.

For some reason the Brock / Burley loop was busier than usual last week so please be aware we may have more holiday traffic than usual. When moving off the front please keep tight to the inside line so we're allowing cars to pass at the best time.
